Report a Wildlife Violation

One way you can help protect the environment, fish and wildlife​ is to stop violations before they happen. The watchful eyes of the community can deter possible violators. If you see an offence, think O.R.R.: Observe, Record, Report​.

OBSERVE WHAT THE PERSON IS DOING

Some common violations are:

● Illegal waste disposal (household or business waste, e.g. dumped on Crown
Land)

● The discharge of chemicals or sewage to lakes or rivers
● Damage to fish or wildlife habitat
● Exceeding the daily bag or catch limit
● Use of illegal hunting or fishing gear
● Fishing or hunting out of season or in closed areas
● Unauthorized collection or sale of fish and wildlife or their parts

RECORD WHAT YOU OBSERVE

As soon as possible, write down what you’ve seen. Include these details:
